The king of all rats commands his loyal rat minions to battle. Utility based hero similar to viscous but spawns rat npcs to his aid.

The rat king is loved by his supporters, they are willing to die to continue his cause. Of course, if they weren't supporters, they'd be dead aswell. The rat king is the biggest rat in the sewers and akin to a mafia boss has made sure that people there follow him, both the easy and the hard way. He is fast and hot-headed, solving problems with his gun more often than not. He does not hide in the shadows,

The rat king fires a small burst pistol (three shots before delay), and has a mag filled with 15 bullets that deal medium/low damage.

His followers, the rats, are mostly passive npcs that behave similarly to the neutral npcs in-game. They initially only attack characters who have attacked them, or him (the rat king has some abilities that can make the rats agressive towards a target aswell).

1 Rat pistol
The rat king loads a rat into his pistol and on a hit the rat is on the target for 3 seconds (or 1 second after the target takes damage) halving the targets bullet and melee resistance. If the rat misses then it is summoned as a passive npc rat, with low health but high speed and DPS. This ability has a cooldown of 8 seconds

2 Cheezy situation
The rat king loads a cheese piece into his pistol and targets either himself or an ally. The target gains a small temporary stat boost that lasts 5 seconds and decays overtime. It starts out as 50 hp (scales with boons) per second and 1.2x move speed, but overtime goes back to normal. This ability has a cooldown of 15 seconds

3 Rat attack
The rat king splits up a maximum of three nearby npc characters (prioritizes lower tier npcs) into three the npc rats each (up to 9). These npc rats all have higher DPS but are all melee, award a third of the souls and have a third of their old health. They are provoked towards a target you pick, otherwise they only attack if provoked (similar to the netural npcs you can find). This ability has a cooldown of 50 seconds.

4 Cult following
The rat king becomes larger, gains a small health bonus and is carried around by his rat followers (increased move speed) for the duration. It lasts for 40 seconds, and has a cooldown of 90 seconds. Each time it is used, all npc rats on the map rush to the rat king (go into the walls and despawn if far away), and get fused into the rat king for this ability.
